External USB disk always triggers fsck

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Every time I plug in an external USB disk drive and click on the “Mount and Open” button, an fsck is started and the disk is not mounted. If I wait until the ckeck is over, I can mount and open the disk.

I can manually mount the disk with ‘mount /dev/sde1 /mnt’ even while the automatic fsck is running.

The automatic check is done as ‘e2fsck -f -n -C 1 /dev/sde1’, so it is forced, even if the disk is clean (which it is, as I verified with a manual fsck).

How can I avoid this automatic forced check?

Mounting is performed by your Desktop Environment and you never mentioned it.

I am using KDE on openSUSE Leap 16.0.
